The Philosophy: From Destruction to Resurrection
This collection is hardwired into the deepest roots of John’s 1970s DIY Punk ethos: Reuse. Rethink. Rebuild. Renew.
This collection is hardwired into the deepest roots of John’s 1970s DIY Punk ethos: Reuse. Rethink. Rebuild. Renew.
As a mohawked 15-year-old kid in 1979 London making "frankenstein" clothes on his mum’s machine, John was profoundly inspired by the legendary Vivienne Westwood ( who John knew feom her earliest days on the Kings Road) the architect of the original Punk fashion that launched the legendary band the SEX PISTOLS, whose ultimate battle cry was "DESTROY."
But as an artist, John took that mantra a step further, asking a pivotal question that has driven his 40-year career: If something is destroyed, what comes in its place?
SOFT PLANET is the definitive answer to that question. We do not let the past decay; we resurrect it. We strip away the stagnation of old textiles, breathe raw human intent back into the panels, and sculpt them into legendary, one-of-a-kind statements designed to last generations.
